Explosive Thunder

Since the winter, there has occurred to me an increase in a phenomenon of heavy rain and thunder / fireworks. I notice this while working in the Somerville New Jersey area over the winter. I somehow caught a sync with a news report for heavy snow and thunder warnings during a massive snow storm. I happened to be outside walking across the property at work about 8pm that night, it was snowing fiercely, and I distinctly heard what were obviously explosions and not the forewarned thunder. I never said a thing to anyone and thought little of it but tonight as I lay trying desperately to finish two online summer courses I am again perplexed with the setting off of fireworks on what has been a mostly wet and still rainy day. My future son-in-law confirmed there are carnivals nearby but not in the direction of the commotion. It is now 8:25 pm and the thundering explosions as consistent and close.
I experienced the same symptoms in the beginning of the summer at a facility in Levittown PA where it was raining and on what appeared to be the clearing side of the storm a proliferation of fireworks. I was astonished because it was still sunny outside not the usual night black sky.
I just got up to confirm the presence of pyrotechnics and I saw it with my own two eyes but it is astonishing that with a steady rain and the call for flash flooding did not deter the pyromaniacs.
Back to my hypothesis: I do believe there is an underlying covert reason behind the winter explosion thunder but I can surmise the last two summer episodes were clearly an attempt to salvage the evening’s festivities. I am sure there is always a motivation appearing benign on the outside but may be filled with malignancy. I did not want to surmise a covert military plot but release my imaginative assumptions to the public at large to wrestle with the logic behind my peculiar conclusion and document my suspicions.
